Ekonomik Büyüme ve Demokratikleşme Arasındaki İlişkinin Analizi: Ampirik Bir Uygulama(Türkiye Örneği)

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de demokratikleşme ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki nasıl bir ilişki olduğunu incelemektir. Bu amaç çerçevesinde öncelikle literatürde yapılmış olan çalışmalar titizlikle irdelenmiştir. Türkiye için eşbütünleşme analizi ve granger nedensellik testlerinin uygulandığı ekonometrik bir çalışma yapılmış ve bu uygulamada sivil hak ve özgürlükler, politik özgürlükler ve nüfus artışı bağımsız değişken, ekonomik büyümeyi temsil eden GSYİH büyüme hızı ise bağımlı değişken olarak modelde yer almıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda sivil haklar, nüfus büyüme hızı, politik özgürlükler ve ekonomik büyüme arasında uzun dönemli bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca sivil haklar ve politik özgürlüklerden ekonomik büyümeye doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisinin olduğu gözlenmiştir.
